Doživljanje stresa specialnega in rehabilitacijskega pedagoga v Pomurju

Vrečič, Vojka (author), Jerman, Janez (mentor)

Stres je neizogiben del tako poklicnega kot zasebnega življenja. V poklicih pomoči in pri delu z ljudmi stres izvira že iz same narave dela. Delo specialnih in rehabilitacijskih pedagogov je intenzivno ter prepleteno s hitrimi spremembami, ki zahtevajo dobre sposobnosti prilagajanja. Na delovnem mestu se soočajo z različnimi pogoji, ki so obremenjujoči in povzročajo poklicni stres. Omenjeni pogoji se povezujejo z delovnim okoljem, medosebnimi odnosi ter izzivi uravnavanja poklicnih zahtev in zasebnega življenja. Glavni namen magistrskega dela je bil raziskati, kateri dejavniki poklicnega stresa so za specialne in rehabilitacijske pedagoge v Pomurju obremenjujoči, ter kako na doživljanje le-teh vpliva mobilnost omenjenega pedagoškega profila. Pri raziskovalnem delu smo uporabili deskriptivno in kavzalno neeksperimentalno metodo pedagoškega raziskovanja in kvantitativni raziskovalni pristop. Raziskavo smo izvedli na neslučajnostnem vzorcu specialnih in rehabilitacijskih pedagogov (N=46). Anonimni spletni vprašalnik je bil preko elektronske pošte posredovan osnovnim šolam in osnovnim šolam s prilagojenim programom v Pomurju. Rezultati kažejo, da skoraj polovica specialnih in rehabilitacijskih pedagogov svoj poklic ocenjuje kot precej ali zelo stresen. Pri doživljanju poklicnega stresa nismo ugotovili statistično pomembnih povezav s poklicno usposobljenostjo. Sodelujoči so kot najbolj obremenjujoče dejavnike poklicnega stresa ocenili: administrativno delo, časovne pritiske, delovno obremenjenost, nediscipliniranost učencev ter nezainteresiran odnos učencev do dela. Ugotovili smo, da je za udeležence raziskave v delovnem okolju najbolj obremenjujoče pomanjkanje primernega prostora za izvajanje dejavnosti z učenci. Podatki kažejo, da je za mobilne specialne in rehabilitacijske pedagoge delovno okolje nekoliko bolj obremenjujoče kot za ostale, vendar se razlike niso izkazale za statistično pomembne. Glede medosebnih odnosov rezultati kažejo, da se udeleženci počutijo sprejete med sodelavci in imajo občutek pripadnosti delovnemu timu. Nadalje smo v povezavi z uravnavanjem poklicnih zahtev in zasebnega življenja ugotovili, da več kot polovica sodelujočih službeno delo opravlja doma. Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da je za mobilne specialne in rehabilitacijske pedagoge uravnavanje poklicnih zahtev in zasebnega življenja statistično pomembno bolj obremenjujoče.

• Title: The experience of stress by special and rehabilitation pedagogues in the Pomurje region

Abstract

Stress is an unavoidable part of professional and private life. In professions that offer aid to people or those that involve working with people, stress is inherent to the type of work itself. The work of special and rehabilitation pedagogues is intense and entwined with quick change, which demand good adaption skills. In the workplace they face a variety of conditions that are taxing and cause occupational stress. The mentioned conditions relate to the work environment, interpersonal relationships as well as challenges to balance professional demands and personal life. The main end of the master thesis was to explore which factors of occupational stress are wearisome for special and rehabilitation pedagogues in Pomurje and how these are experienced with regard to the mobility of the pedagogic profile. In the research section we used a descriptive and causal non-experimental method of pedagogical research and a quantitative research approach. We conducted the research on grounds of a non-random sample of special and rehabilitation pedagogues (N=46). We sent the anonymous survey via email to elementary schools and elementary schools with adaptive programs in Pomurje. The results show that almost half of special and rehabilitation pedagogues assess their occupation as quite or very stressful. We did not find a statistically significant correlation between how stress is experienced and professional skillset. The most stress causing factors as identified by contributing pedagogues were administrative work, time pressure, workload, lack of discipline and interest in work in students. We found that the lack of suitable spaces for work with students the most exhausting in the work environment for participants of the research. The data shows that the work environment is perceived as slightly more stressful for mobile special and rehabilitation pedagogues than for others, but the difference was statistically insignificant. With regard to interpersonal relationships, the participants felt accepted by co-workers and considered themselves part of the team. Furthermore, in connection to work life balance we found that than half of participants also worked at home. Results show that for mobile special and rehabilitation pedagogues the balance between work demands and private life was statistically significant more demanding.
